On|8 Sukhumvit

As usual, we did our research on hotels two months prior to our trip to Bangkok. We came across On8 Sukhumvit, read the reviews and decided to give it a shot.


Entrance from Sukhumvit Soi 8 leads you to the main reception (on the left behind the opened cupboard door. The door at the other end of the hotel leads you onto Sukhumvit Soi 9. You will be right in front of the staircase to Nana BTS.


From the reception, walk pass a short lounge area to the cafe. There are laptops available here and in the cafe for use, and a few books you could take to read during your stay.

I don't have any photographs of the room on my camera, but what you see on their website is what you get.

Pros: New hotel, contemporary design, comfortable beds, good breakfast...well, good enough (cereal, eggs, toast, coffee & tea, juice, bacon, ham, sausages, yoghurt and fresh tropical fruits), the taxis know where the Nana BTS is

Cons: During our stay, the local council decided to dig up a whole stretch of the walkway on Sukhumvit Soi 9 for upgrading works. Messy!
